'03/'04 Mach-1, any owners???

Are you talking about the NEW Mustangs ??

[StealthBird]

A Pontiac buddy of mine in Texas bought a new 2003 Mach 1. He's a racer at heart, and definately knows how to shift (he also has an 11 second street driven Firebird). He bolted on a set of Nitto drag radials onto his new Mach 1, and hit a 12.99 @ 106.2 mph in some good air. At first I thought it wasn't that big a deal, because Z06's and Vipers are quicker, plus he had to do it on drag radials. But when you sit back and realize that for around $25K, the guy has a brand new, warrantied car, that's a solid low 13 second daily driver.

Cheaper than a new GTO, and in my opinion, the Mach 1 really looks like a modern day Musclecar. Gotta love that shaker scoop...

Found this last night while trying to get up to speed on them.

I would recommend a slightly used 281hp Saleen.They sell for around mid-twenties on retail-Ebay.
I found one locally from a Dr. that wanted the car out of his garage that morning for $20k.Great handling car for the money.

When I go to Memphis Motorsports Park one of the spots in our trailer is occupied by a buddies '02 SS Camaro (M6, 4.10, all the goodies). It's stone stock except for the gears and a set of Nittos, and I've seen him go 12.45@107+. I shudder to think how quick a base Z or Formula would go since they don't have to carry all the weight from the extra bells/whistles!

Rob my buddy Chris has a 01 Z28 Bone stock LS1 6 speed. All he had done was a Whisper lid, MAF, Smooth bellows, and a Loud mouth exhaust, and ran a 12.84 @ 111mph on stock tires and stock gear. Them cars RUN!!! He actually wants a piece of you!

The cool thing would be to get a 1LE SS Camaro. They are bare fisted street warriors with no options....crank windows, no power locks, etc.

Belair the 05 Stangs are going to be cool.....hope to see them in by September. People are already lining up for them!
